Steering clear of this one would probably be a good idea, unfortunately. And right?! I think authors are quitting with the love triangle thing though.

I think I will absolutely be taking your suggestion and NOT touching this one with a ten foot pole. Very disappointing. But hey, NO LOVE TRIANGLE!

Like, I'm not going to buy it or borrow it from the library. And you're right! There are way too many books out there that I could possibly enjoy!<br /><br />Haha that's true.

And those kind of characters...ugh. You just want to slap them silly for their stupidity and blatantly obvious ways to create "conflict" in a plot. You deserve an amazing read after this!

If there is something wrong or distasteful, then there is something wrong or distasteful. No sugarcoating.<br /><br />Thank you for not attacking me LOL. I get attacked for some of my reviews that feature books that I negatively rate. It's like people DON'T want me to be 100% honest. Which is so wrong - I will never be any less than 100% honest and upfront. <br /><br />Thank YOU for the wonderful comment!

However, as I read your review, your points are valid. I actually agree with you on some points, especially the plot holes with how society works obtaining water and getting rid of waste. The thing is with me, I am a person who always finds a way to like a book. And for me, it was DeStefano's writing style that made me love PERFECT RUIN. I'm glad we are on the same page with that. <br /><br />But, it was nice reading a review from a perspective that opposes mine. I don't want you to think that because we gave this book different ratings that I am instantly going to say you are wrong, and take that route. I appreciate what you wrote and it made me see that book in a different light, and I thank you for that. :)The Observant Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08243594206547523828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-41141902385935208092013-12-27T12:29:09.116-05:002013-12-27T12:29:09.116-05:00Meh, that's okay.

I'm also applauding you for actually finishing the book! I DO NOT DNF books, but I DNF'ed this one. Couldn't do it. I was so bored I just couldn't make myself pick it up and read. You're right that the writing is good, but good writing does not a good book make. <br /><br />I'm sorry you wasted two days! Read something that promises to be wonderful now! :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00583849311706991000noreply@blogger.com
